Answers:

well the hydrocodone is just generic vicodin. I am assuming its hydrocodone apap 5/500mg. The smaller number is the amount of vicodin. the 500mg is the amount of acetaminophen or Tylenol. You can have 1000 mg of tylenol every 4-6 hours. so depending on when she took the last pill. if she took it 4 to 6 hours ago then yes she can take two more. If she only took one pill.....lets say for example 2 hours ago then she could take one more, not two.
